Nail Fungus Treatment

What is Toenail fungus?

Toenail fungus will often occur in adults and can be contracted in a variety of ways including contact with others (i.e. pedicures, manicures), recovery after a nail injury, or even by wearing “closed toe” footwear. However contracted, it is a medical condition and is an infection to the nail where left untreated may permanently damage the nail or spread to other nails or surrounding skin. Toenail fungus is also known as “Onychomycosis” and typical symptoms associated with this disorder may include:

• Change in color of the nail
• The nail is weak often being brittle or ragged in appearance
• Nail appears to be misshaped or easily separated
• Lack of luster or shine to the nail
• General thickening of the nail in comparison with other nails

Over-the-counter creams and ointments generally are not effective in the treatment of nail fungus. Prescription medicines for fingernail and toenail fungus need 6-9 months to treat this condition and are only successful in about 50% of the patients and have numerous contraindications and medical side effects (i.e. liver, kidneys). Even if your present healthcare provider removes the nail completely it may take well over (12) months for the fingernail or toenail to grow back.
